Politics / Re: Update on developments in Anambra state-photos by cjrane: 10:09pm On Feb 21 |
afube: Keep deluding yourself. Do you think it is water that International construction companies based in Lagos and Abuja will use in deploying their equipment to the site? If we are talking about a very difficult road in a swampy area or major bridges, then of course it makes sense to call Julius Berger if there are no cheaper alternatives. You silly people are just pained that Soludo has continued to perform. The good thing is that Soludo is doing unscheduled inspections and ensuring that non-performing contractors are removed from the project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUD9MLvQgRg See the quality of Soludo's roads, not even the federal roads have this thickness of cement stone base. So you can continue telling lies, people know their governor is performing extremely well. Go and hug a transformer if you are pained.

Ezewuzie01: Mad people everywhere. Why are you avoiding mentioning Julius Berger to construct all the streets in Anambra state? Meanwhile, your type would NEVER pay even 0ne kobo in taxes! Yet, you are the first to recommend that the most fiscally reckless methods of achieving development be used in Anambra. If you want to build your village house and Julius Berger charges you N1 billion naira to build a three-bedroom bungalow, while a Nigerian contractor charges you 40 million naira for the same house, you will judiciously use the Nigerian contractor because you know there are no special equipment needed to build a village bungalow. But if it is government money, like Tinubu, you believe resources are INFINITE, or rather you can just print more money without consequences on the economy. Therefore government should just continue spending and borrowing more money for more wasteful expenditures on using Julius Berger to simply tar internal streets which can be done very well with simple construction equipment of Nigerian contractors. 5 Likes 1 Share |

ANSMEDIA: Gradually but surely, Soludo is implementing his vision. I love that he isn't giving excuses or wailing over money. Even though I know the economic crunch will be hitting him too. But, he is focused on doing his best. I wish he would visit some of his road projects more often. That will not just keep the contractors on their toes, but will also draw media attention to his projects for those saying he isn't doing anything. One great thing about Gov. Otti of Abia is that he visits his project sites daily. So once he pays a contractor, they have NO CHOICE but to hit the ground running and deliver quickly on the project without delaying and waiting for variations in prices to occur. Meanwhile, I found this wonderful YouTube vlogger (blessingGodwins) based in Anambra. They are a couple and they are committed to driving all over the state to highlight the Governor's projects in the far ends of the state. I love that they say it as they see it. Unlike one cheap propagandist who only finds a way to badmouth everything done by the government and create an impression that it is "bad' in some way. Please visit this YouTube site and show them so much love! https://www.youtube.com/@blessingGodwins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Udgl-3Zf4jk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Udgl-3Zf4jk&t=340s 3 Likes |

But their entire Russian Federal Government built! As if they didn't know Nigeria also has a FEDERAL Government to build such infrastructure like the Russian FEDERAL Government! The most magical part is that they will NEVER send it to their own state threads. Maka why?? 4 Likes |

ChimaAdeoye: My brother, thank you! Actually, you cannot be sure about the agenda of these faceless people. I suspect they are APC agents targeting the heart of Igboland. Imo state is by far the richest state in the southeast by FAAC allocations. Yet, Imo state has ONLY Owerri and to a lesser extent Orlu and Okigwe as urban centers to develop. Yet nobody hounds Hope Uzodinma to ensure he builds underground drainages even in villages or along Federal expressways. Even though most of these Onitsha-based vloggers doing videos of Anambra every day are actually from Imo state! They never clamor about even basic roads to be provided by Uzodinma, but they are demanding infrastructure in America or Lagos and Abuja to be built by Anambra government which is barely in the top 20 states by FAAC monthly allocation despite its over population problems due to being a center of commerce attracting immigrants from all over Nigeria! I don't know if you can see the double standards here. Meanwhile, other states that receive way more than what Anambra receives are not even harrassed to merely patch up potholes in the few streets in their tiny state capitals that aren't even as populated as Nnewi! Now, unlike Imo state, Anambra is grappling to simultaneously develop about 6 major cities (Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi, Ihiala, Aguleri, and Ekwulobia). Not to mention other big towns such as Umunze, Ukpor, Atani, Nsugbe, Nteje etc! It has issues of unplanned and irregular development taking place in random locations and it simply lacks the funds to put proper roads and infrastructure in all these locations to prevent them from becoming slums. Everyone can see that Soludo's infrastructural agenda is statewide and not solely about making the state capital a befitting model city. Therefore, it requires a very astute deployment of resources to impact the entire state with the few resources compared to the problems. I can only tell you to always remember that some of these people are merely looking for a way to create a narrative that either nothing is happening in Anambra, or to claim that whatever was achieved was substandard. i am glad that some people like SpaceTour give them a good run for their pittance paid by APC. 6 Likes 2 Shares

Business / Re: Can't Send Dollars To Nigeria Any More by cjrane: 5:39am On Feb 09 |
Acidosis: Right now the biggest source of dollars into the economy is through overseas remittances from Nigerians abroad. So why introduce a discarded idea that even Lamido Sanusi noted that it reduced forex flow through remittances? If he blocks the steady flow of dollars into the economy through the failed policy, he will only open the gate for other operators who would transfer into your naira account at 1,410 if you transfer into their Bank of America account. Everybody took that option because then the money transfer agencies would pay something like 800 or 900 naira to the dollar and still charge you a transfer fee. But the other transfer people will cost you nothing as you merely transfer through Xelle to their Bank of America account and they credit your naira account immediately! Nobody likes wasting money, so once you need to make the transfer, you call them and make the agreed sum and they will credit your naira account instantly. The only thing is that you will know that the dollars would probably go to India or Pakistan instead of Nigeria. I just wonder why Tinubu would also want to stifle forex inflow by Nigerians in the diaspora by introducing hurdles to make their loved ones get less money. It simply creates all these alternative ways of transfer that in the end, the dollars never make it to Nigeria again. Anyway, they should continue bulldozing Nigeria and experimenting on discarded ideas that turned out to hurt the economy, until the people will wake up. 39 Likes 3 Shares |
Business / Re: Can't Send Dollars To Nigeria Any More by cjrane: 5:19am On Feb 09 |
Hx1x: In this day and age when you can contact people in America via WhatsApp, they are bringing back this policy that stopped dollar remittances into Nigeria. They have just opened business again for those who would ask you to give them the dollars in America and then they will transfer the agreed naira equivalent to your loved ones in Nigeria. Ultimately, Nigeria loses on the dollars her people would have sent into Nigerian banks. The dollars remain abroad while the people in Nigeria who need dollars to fund their accounts abroad are merely asked to pay naira into an account in Nigeria and they will credit your account in China! So the dollars never enter Nigeria. 57 Likes 5 Shares |

Purehuman: It is easy to cite Americans, Japanese, or Germans as the people we should copy. But you fail to also copy their BEHAVIOR / MINDSET! No American, German, or Japanese would take trash from their homes and dump it in the street or into drainage gutters hoping the flood would carry the trash to the River Mississippi. That is the underlying difference between the people who live in those countries and the behavior of our people! If you take Nigerians to America and bring Americans to Nigeria, in less than 2 years, they will make our cities look sparkling clean with flowers and trees all over, while we would make New York and Los Angeles look like piggeries with decaying trashing filled gutters and underground drainage seeping out sewage onto the streets. That my friend is the DIFFERENCE! Our people are still getting accustomed to the tenets of modern city life. Unfortunately, previous governments paid zero attention to environmental sanitation, so our people assume that it is perfectly okay to litter and pollute their environment as much as possible. So long as they sweep inside of their homes. The exterior can be a pile of trash and nobody cares. If someone hears you talking like this they would think you are the type that does not throw trash on the street or properly bag your refuse and drive to authorized places to dispose of them. Or they would believe that you will gladly pay taxes without being chased around. An average American or German would do these things on their own without waiting for the government to chase them around before doing the right thing! The problem with most of you is MINDSET! Nigerians are the most difficult people to govern and Igbos have learned and imbibed that recalcitrant attitude. Imagine that people asked to stop trading on the street and blocking the free flow of traffic would return to the same spot immediately after the enforcement team moved to another location. Until the enforcement team returns with clubs and begins to damage their wares to forcefully make them comply! There is a total disregard for the laws and norms of a sane society. 5 Likes 1 Share |

christejames: This should be sustained annually. To give a cash price to any landlord with the best-beautified surrounding of their house with flowers, trees and a clean street with drainage gutters. To be fair enough, the competition should be in two categories. 1. Landlords of the cleanest private homes. (Inside the compound and exterior street beyond their fence) - N5 million naira 2. Landlord of the best commercial building. (Inside the compound and exterior street beyond their fence) - N7 million naira. This will be a fantastic way of getting people to repaint their houses and beautify their environment. 6 Likes |

abuzz33: Long read. The bottom line is that everything has to be done to address the rampant street markets that have taken over every open space along our roads, and also force the approved markets or motor parks to mandatorily provide toilet facilities. The fight against illegal street markets with makeshift stands popping up everywhere or illegal structures added to legally approved buildings to create appendages for street trading will be a long arduous fight. Only a brave and determined Governor can prevail against these entrenched street traders who don't care any bit about the well-being of society or anyone at all. As long as they are making money trading on the streets and littering the roads and gutters unperturbed. This has got to be addressed if there is any hope of achieving Soludo's clean and green Anambra. 5 Likes |

Jcoleworld911: Why do I support open drainage systems? It's simple! They are easy to unblock and maintain in our environment. I will support closed drainage gutters if it's in high-brow, low-density areas where the homeowners of the mansions would never want to dump heaps of trash in front of their houses. Therefore, it would be very difficult for such covered drainage systems to be clogged with trash. Soludo is sensible for keeping most of his drainage gutters open for now. he understands our people and the problem associated with cleaning blocked sealed gutters. 4 Likes 1 Share

0bjpmb: Yes, but they are spamming the thread and making it an unattractive place to come and read/contribute ideas to the state's development. Which may indeed be their real aim. Especially if you follow their modus operandi. The same people who insulted and belittled all Obiano's achievements to discourage him are now doing the same to Soludo and funnily now promoting Obiano! So it is very clear who these people are and what their evil agenda is. It is simply about rubbishing anything Anambra and discouraging whoever happens to be leading the state from taking any bold steps to move the state even further in development. They are bitter but don't help them derail the thread by predictably reacting to their silly antics. 1 Like |

It is great that these things are happening because it will finally provoke a confrontation that will allow people to take control over their land and their own affairs. I remember when Russia invaded Chechnya and then Georgia and then Crimea, people kept telling Putin that his invasions to restore the former Soviet Union would someday lead to a determination of one of the smaller states to resist Russia sooner than later. When that finally happens, he would have ruined the Russian economy by his inability to know when to stop the incessant invasions. Like Putin like Fulanis. |
